ABSTRACT:
A motor mount device for adjustably positioning the location of a motor on a watercraft. The device includes three rail clamps designed to create three points of contact between the device and the gunwales of the watercraft. Two clamps are positionable on one side of the craft, with one having a motor mount placeable outboard of the watercraft. The third clamp is located across from the clamp that includes the motor mount and the coupling between those two clamps is provided via an incrementally adjustable cross member. The adjustability of the length of the cross member permits the device to be placed at most any boat width. A thruster plate and the arrangement of the clamps ensures maximum transfer of thrust of the motor to movement of the watercraft. An optional safety switch controls power to the motor such that when undesired or unexpected movement of the propeller out of the water occurs, the power to the motor will automatically be cut off.
